Thread: plat units = to blacks

?

What is your point? I didn't say she is the best tank ever.

I also have a max level Jelius and I know what he does.

unless i'm missing your point , we were talking about which unit simply stands out of an entire army , regardless of role. Gelius is clearly the best tank in the game , and stomps all the competition out of the water. actually if i were 2 pick 2 units from your team , those would be gellius and olivie , long before nadia. Not that nadia is bad tho , but she's not THAT great. 2 costly to be eficiently deployed in any sort of rush map for ex


I mean , maybe i missunderstood , but we were talking about which plat unit is the best. I'd say gellis is the better one

forgetting about cost.. she looks pretty badass. if you can deploy her in a choke point looks like a total meat grinder.. throw gellius and healer behind and afk

this topic is actually discussing which plats are near black-level. both Gellius and Nadia has enough stats/power to be listed here. also note that exk has only mentioned nadia as a duelist that can tank anything except the super high end ones, although she can also tank most of them with a bit of support. if you notice in exk's screenshot, nadia has 3.5k hp with 2.6k def, which effectively allows her to tank up to 6k damage. there are not many things where you need gellius instead of nadia to tank. (so yes, gellius is not the only tank that can facetank high-tier bosses)

also, nadia can dps, while gellius can't.

The bottom line is that while Nadia is indeed expensive she also consolidates an awful lot of power into one spot.

Anyway, I do think there comes a point where fixating on roles can become rather counterproductive--it's important to have your all your bases covered, certainly, but that doesn't mean units have to be all defense or all offense. Gellius is great against uber units but otherwise a premium tank really only has value over a merely adequate tank if the difference in defenses allows you to get away with less healers. Otherwise you may as well throw in a blocker that can get the job done while providing more oomph.

the point he was making was that no plat unit come close in sheer power , to which i responded that gelius is (stat wise) the best plat in the game. He is the best tank , with great block , MR and defense , while also costing way less. Deploying nadia will not be cost effective on a majority of maps

He is mainly talking about the sheer damage coupled with her great tankiness though. Or did you miss the part where he said she was better than bandits, and the only HA he actually used in comparison was Deine, a high damage HA?

Gellius' tanking ability is different from the power output of Nadia (which is what he was getting at) if you want to go by stats at max level and affection

Gellius
HP: 4175
Atk: 306
Def: 611
MR: 10

Adding Gellius' Skill AW (for 30 seconds)
Def: 1833
MR: 30

Nadia
HP: 3572
Atk: 1031
Def: 614
MR: 0

Adding Nadias Skill AW (which keeps going till she gets paralyzed)
Atk: 1546
Def: 921

Despite the fact that she can only block 1 target she clearly outclasses Gellius stat wise, of course she's not meant to be put on every map and has her areas where she shines.

and conveniantly left out gelius skill awakening. Interesting. @ Buster wolf


@ Tenhou : he said "other plats units can only look in shame" I was assuming he was talking about all plats. If he was talking purely duelists , sure , but the way he phrased it was somewhat confusing. If he wasn't talking duelists , then no. I disagree that nadia is the best platinum in the game.
